Changing fuel filter - just pull off the cover and replace yes?
 

As heading really. Will it be under pressure?

Thanks

Will be under pressure yeah. So watch your mince pies!

Not too sure what you mean by cover. Mine's a MY99 and it's on the offside strut mount. Requires two pipes (inlet & outlet) to be undone take out and replace. It's about a year since I did the job last but don't remember getting showered with petrol (car definitely still in one piece)

Just wanted to check is all. Had a nightmare changing filter on my old GTIR. The hose had perished a bit and squirted fuel all over the engine. Quite surprised how hot fuel gets without igniting :eek: fumes sting like heck though.

Leave a few hours then pressure has dropped. Have something ready to plug hoses while you fiddle a dumpy crosshead 'driver often fits.

What cover?
You're not talking about the cover for the fuel pump?
The fuel filter is a single black canister in the engine bay. You don't open it to get a filter element out, the whole thing is replaced.

less than 5 mins to change..leave overnight before starting and you`ll be fine.
the petrol only leaked a few drops...
The easiest job to do on an Impreza.

Changed mine the other day & have 2 more rich lights now on the Afr :D so worthwhile job me thinks
